Hi,
I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.


In order to release your project properly and unambiguously under the license of Perl (disjunction of the Artistic License and the GNU GPL), please place copyright notices and license information at the beginning of every file of source code.

In addition, please include a copy of the plain text version of the GPL (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt) and of the Artistic License (http://www.opensource.org/licenses/artistic-license.php) in different files.
Like I saw in the perl-package, you can name them "Copying" and "Artistic".


For more information about the GPL, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.

The GPL FAQ explains why these procedures must be followed.
To learn why a copy of the GPL must be included with every copy of the code, for example,
see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude.



The license notices of your files could be:
"You may distribute under the terms of either the GNU General Public License or the Artistic License, as specified in the README file."

And then include in your README file the notices about the primary terms of the license. Please see the included README file of the perl package for doing this.

Regards,

Sebastian Wieseler <kickino>

Description:
------------
  * Technical description:
yads - yet another DVD shinker script

A frontend to transcode. The goal is to make it as simple and foolproof as possible to create an XVid file of the main feature of a DVD, with optional hard-rendered subtitles (they are rendered onto the video frames). Another goal is to make the resulting videofile compatible with standalone DVD-players that accept DVD-/+R/RW.

It is merely a wrapper script, but I find it useful as it is a non-trivial task to manually find the correct parameters to transcode, and to get all the other stuff right. Why put it on Savannah? Perhaps someone else is struggling to get this stuff to work (especially the compatibility with standalone players), and could use it or do some improvements on the script.

* Source code (may not be a working version, as I just changed
a few things):
http://web.comhem.se/~u86423594/tmp/yads.tgz



Other Software Required:
------------------------
  Requirements: transcode, subtitle2pgm (included with transcode), ffmpeg, xine, xzgv, dvdbackup



Other Comments:
---------------
  For a while, I wondered if there could be legal issues with a script like this, which has the explicit goal of creating videofiles out of DVDs. But then projects like transcode and ffmpeg would be in trouble too right, and they don't seem to be, so I guess it's OK. There is no encouragement that you should break any laws and use it on copyrighted DVDs.
